To Missionary Lennep The Jewelleries and Adornment Articles and Their Socio-Cultural Functions in The 19th Century Anatolian Culture
Abstract
To look beautiful or adornment has been a phenomenon that is the part of the human beings since the very ancient times. Therefore, from the past to the present the human beings have devoted special attention to the use of every jewelery and adornment complementary to their dressing. The jeweleries and the ornaments’ connection with culture, even if the functions are similar, more or less they change from one society to another. This has led to variety in different jeweleries and ornaments, the symbols and the signs used for them as well. Hence, even though there have been some similarities, it is seen that authentic jeweleries and ornaments differ in the East and West cultures, there has been a strong variety in the jeweleries and the ornaments depending upon the rich and varied aesthetic reception of the East. Therefore, it is realized that the richness and the variation of the jeweleries and ornaments capture the attention of the travelers who visited the East. One of those is H. J. Van Lennep, who lived in Anatolia for a long time within the missionary activities.. His giving detailed information and drawings as to the jeweleries and ornaments are of quality to help us to closely see some of the jeweleries and adornments commonly used in Anatolia in the 19th century and understand our history of culture; to enable us to determine the folkloric factors that have changed or remained permanent. Therefore, the article aims to analyze and reveal the observations of Lennep as to the jeweleries and adornments used by the Anatolian people through the document examination, discourse analysis and deconstruction techniques.
